On my last full day in Spain I decided to once again square off against a physical foe that pretty much whipped my behind two years ago–Kayaking.
Booking another kayaking excursion wasn’t easy because it brought back memories of my recently deceased younger sister Nicole and our kayaking experience off the coast of Aruba two years ago. Read more
Ok everyone has at one point or another suffered with bouts of the dreaded ailment, but for some reason it is the most difficult word for me to say publically. I really believe that profanity would have an easier time gliding from my lips than the word “diarrhea.”
